ありがとうございます！😊 2019年の幕張メッセで開催されたFFXIVファンフェスティバル東京で初めてお会いし、その時は北米ファンフェスティバルのお土産までいただきました。 その後はコロナ禍もあり、なかなか直接お会いする機会がありませんでしたが、今回ようやく少しだけお返しをすることができてホッとしています。 Download Festivalを通して、またこうしてFFXIVが繋いでくれたご縁を改めて嬉しく思いました。 これからもよろしくお願いします！ #PrimalsDownload #DLXXIII #THEPRIMALS #FFXIV

Download festivalに参戦してきたふりきちさんから貴重なお土産頂きました 色々覚えていて下さって自分に合わせてもらって本当に感謝です 次のライブかファンフェスでは一緒にブチ上がりましょう！！

山田英津子＆エレガントノーツ ジョイント・コンサート Download Festivalから帰国後、横浜みなとみらいホール 小ホールで開催された 山田英津子＆エレガントノーツ ジョイント・コンサート を鑑賞しました。 終演後には長尾隆央さん（@longtail710）にDownload Festivalのお土産をお渡しし、当日発売された『Eorzean Symphony FINAL FANTASY XIV Orchestral Album Vol.4』Blu-rayにサインもいただくことができました。 昨年は父の病気のため公演へ伺うことが叶いませんでしたが、今年はこうして再び音楽を楽しみ、お会いすることができて本当に嬉しかったです。 Download Festivalの旅は終わりましたが、FFXIVと音楽が繋いでくれたご縁を改めて感じる一日になりました。 長尾さん、本当にありがとうございました。 #FF14 #FFXIVオケコン2025

@GunnLee Download Festivalでの熱い演奏を現地で観たばかりですが、もう次のライブが楽しみです。 毎回セットリストが変わるので準備も大変だと思いますが、「今回はどんな曲が聴けるんだろう」と今からワクワクしています! #GMJ #SQEXGMJ #FF14 #THEPRIMALS

そして…！ GameMusicJamまで1ヵ月を切っております。 よろしくお願いします〜 #gamemusicjam #THEPRIMALS

These photos perfectly capture how THE PRIMALS experienced Download Festival from the stage. The first photo reminds me of GUNN’s smile during the performance. He looked genuinely happy to be there, and that expression left a strong impression on me. In the second photo, Jason Charles Miller stood at the front as THE PRIMALS charged into one of the world’s biggest rock festivals. In the third photo, you can spot dedicated fans wearing FFXIV and THE PRIMALS shirts in the crowd. I also remember GUNN throwing guitar picks into the audience and Koji Fox tossing his hat to the fans. The fourth photo shows the Dogtooth Stage where THE PRIMALS performed. Behind it was one of the massive main stages, and waves of festival-goers kept pouring into the tent throughout the set. For anyone curious, this was the setlist: THE PRIMALS @ Download Festival Four-fold Knowing Fiend Not Afraid ～AAC Cruiserweight～ Absolute Tyranny eScape Under the Weight #PrimalsDownload #DLXXIII #THEPRIMALS #FFXIV

Because I received a photo from the official… Thank you soooo much! オフィシャルより写真をいただきました故… ありがとうございました！ #downloadfestival #THEPRIMALS

@GunnLee Download Festival本当にお疲れ様でした！遅くなりましたが、私も無事に日本へ帰国しました。現地でステージを観ていましたが、演奏中のGUNNさんのとても嬉しそうな笑顔が今でも印象に残っています。THE PRIMALSが世界最大級のロックフェスのステージで演奏する姿を見られて、本当に幸せな時間でした!

Because I received a photo from the official… Thank you soooo much! オフィシャルより写真をいただきました故… ありがとうございました！ #downloadfestival #THEPRIMALS

番組拝見しました！ 私も現在Uber Eatsのバイク配達員をしているので、配達員の苦労話や道路行政の話は特に興味深かったです。最近は自転車を追い抜く際の距離なども以前以上に気を付けています。毎日走っていると傷みの激しい道路を通ることも多く、道路整備の大切さを実感します。楽しく見ながらも色々と考えさせられる回でした。出演お疲れさまでした！#ブラマヨ談話室

観てくださった皆様有難う御座いました😭👏 本当に皆様お優しく楽しく勉強になる現場でした🥹 Tverでもご覧いただけますので是非🙇🏻✨

Thank you! I was constantly moving back and forth between the FFXIV booth and the festival stages throughout the weekend, so if our timing had lined up, we might actually have crossed paths. It’s a shame we didn’t get the chance to meet this time, but I hope there will be another opportunity in the future!

@F_Freeeman I didn't see you there, but I'm glad you enjoyed! Hopefully they are back next year.

Final Post – My Download Festival 2026 Journey I traveled from Japan to the UK to see THE PRIMALS at Download Festival 2026. Over the weekend I met Warriors of Light from different countries, explored the FFXIV booth, collected souvenirs, and finally got to see THE PRIMALS perform on a festival stage in front of a huge international audience. Unfortunately I became ill during the trip and spent the journey home fighting a fever and a persistent cough. Thankfully I made it back to Japan safely, and my family took great care of me when I arrived home. Looking back now, what I remember most is not the merchandise or even the music itself, but the kindness of the people I met along the way. To everyone I met at Download Festival, thank you. I hope our paths cross again somewhere in Eorzea, at a concert, or at another festival in the future. #PrimalsDownload #DLXXIII #THEPRIMALS #FFXIV

Bonus Post – Beyond THE PRIMALS THE PRIMALS were the reason I traveled from Japan to Download Festival 2026, but they were far from the only unforgettable part of the weekend. Band-Maid was completely new to me before this trip. I listened to them on Spotify while preparing for Download Festival, but seeing them live was another experience entirely. The crowd was fully engaged, and they proved that a Japanese band performing in Japanese can absolutely command an international festival audience. I’ve continued listening to them after returning home and I’m already considering checking out their upcoming Budokan show. BABYMETAL delivered one of the most spectacular performances of the weekend. During METALI!!, Tom Morello appeared on the giant screen. As an FFXIV fan who knows his contribution to the game, it was a special moment. The huge visuals, the powerful wind across the stage, and the confidence of the performers made it unforgettable. Architects were another highlight. As an FFXIV player, I was excited to finally hear Sam Carter perform live at Download Festival after first hearing his voice in Endwalker: Footfalls. Their lighting design, visuals, and stage production were incredible and never left a moment feeling dull. Tom Morello’s set was equally memorable. He performed alongside artists from different generations, encouraged the audience to sing along, played Rage Against the Machine material, supported younger musicians, and closed with a powerful rendition of John Lennon’s “Power to the People.” THE PRIMALS brought me to Download Festival. These artists gave me even more reasons to remember it. @tmorello @Architectsuk #DLXXIII #THEPRIMALS #BABYMETAL #bandmaid

Thank you for letting me know! I checked Jason’s video after reading your comment. I think I know roughly where I was standing in the crowd, but with so many people packed together it’s hard to tell for sure if I actually appear in the video. Still, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch it and let me know. I hope we’ll continue to share our FFXIV and THE PRIMALS adventures in the future!

@F_Freeeman I’m glad you had a fantastic time here!! I’ve been riding a high ever since seeing The Primals perform live last week 🔥🔥 By the way, did you see the video and pictures JCM posted to his instagram? I wonder if you can see yourself in the crowd?

Part 5 – What I brought home from Download Festival 2026. After returning to Japan, I finally had time to lay everything out and look back on an unforgettable weekend. From official Download Festival merchandise, to exclusive FFXIV booth items, guitar picks, stickers, a Fat Cat coin bank kindly gifted to me by a fellow Warrior of Light who won it at the FFXIV booth claw machine, and other souvenirs from the event — every item reminds me of the amazing people I met and the memories I made. Some of these items will be kept as treasured souvenirs, while others will be shared with friends who support THE PRIMALS and FFXIV. Thank you to everyone who made this experience special. #PrimalsDownload #DLXXIII #THEPRIMALS #FFXIV
